Just do European Delivery, the Euro Delivery base price is a lot less. Tack on some profit for the dealer and there you go.
This is the Euro Delivery pricing for the 335i: http://www.bimmerfest.com/pdf/pricin...92_Pricing.pdf By the time you're done paying for the trip you're not saving any money. But you do get a free vacation out of it... Also, ED probably won't be available for the 135 for a while. |

My plan was to buy a new car next year around spring and this was the top candidate. I wanted to stay under 40k too so I could keep my payment under $500 a month. It's just not realistic now. I'd want it optioned up to about 40k as well. For that money, I could buy a decently equipped 335i. |
135i pricing
Well, enough bickering over the US pricing...

ED pickup for 135i will begin 2 weeks after US launch date. |

Its true that if you do ED you might as well make it a vacation. Having your own car to drive around is very nice, no need to deal with trains or finding cheap airfare.

One dealership actually called ED corporate office and confirmed with them, thats where my info is coming from.
|
Saw the pricing today. It's not that much cheaper than a 3-series. I take the 3-series.

How about this, before the release of the car, AC Schnitzer already has it running at 360 horsepower and a sub 5 second 0-60 time.

Sadly, the 135i has a 'peg leg' versus a limited-slip diff. Theoretically, one could swap out the limited-slip from the 335i, but it would be expensive.
The other downside of the 135i is that is is too heavy (<200# lighter than a 335i). |
335 doesn't come w/ a LSD either.. only the M's do.
|
LSD will be available later as an add on, BMW confirmed it for the 1 series.
As exciting as this car sounds, i think im going to spring for the 335 coupe. More room and more standard features does it for me. |
